2011-12 Season Kickoff Meeting
|
W! |
A successful night of the team and parents getting to know each other
and coaches. Kristine and I are extremely excited for this season,
and think that we have great potential of achieving our season goals of
making it to Nationals! Go 15EG!
We're still looking for a
focal, so if someone has decided the job is something they would like,
please let me know. Our tournament schedule is set as well, and
all of the travel tourneys (Yakima, PNQ, Far Westerns & our end of the
year trip) are in need of chaperones. Email me if you're
interested.
Finally, Friday ends now at 9 p.m. instead of 9:30 p.m., FYI.
See you then! |

Power League 1A
January 8 |
3 - 2 |
Power League 1A Cheat Sheet for the team's
convenience. Thanks Coach Kristine, for making it.
Results:
The 15EG team played
well at our first power league, ultimately holding seed and remaining in
18th place out of 50 teams.
We won our first game
against Evergreen Jrs., 21-4, 21-7 with a solid serve run by
Keely
Markey. We then played Southend Jrs. And took the match in 3 games,
11-21, 21-9, 15-12 showing a great fight as a team with aggressive
and impressive hustle by Marit Thorkildsen, Sarah Crane
& Krista Merca.
We then went on to play our second year nemesis, Space Needle, and fell
to them in 2 games, 10-21, 9-21. “The thing that really hurt us in this
game was our serving, we could not get any in-a-rows, literally not a
single run - and frequently, the serve itself was out,” said Coach Kim
Culliton. This put the 15EG team second in the pool and secured them in
division 1.
The team then moved to
the Competitive Edge and was seeded third in our pool. First we played
the ranked #1 KJVBC and fell to them in 2 games, 12-25, 16-25. Serving
once again proved to be an issue. We went on to fall to Snohomish
Valley Fusion in a game that both coaches agree, we can beat that team
and will in the future. Our final game of the LONG day was a success,
defeating Club Wahine 25-20, 18-25, 15-12.
Says Culliton, “I am
excited that this team won the games we went to 3, it shows a lot of
mental toughness and leadership in some key positions. With some
work on our serving, defense and making some connections, I think we
will have a better Power League in the future.”
Congrats to Marit
for being voted MVP of the tournament. Great effort to the
entire team, all 13 of you made coaches proud. We are excited for the
MLK Tournament.

MLK Tourney
January 14-15 |
3 - 3 |
The 15EG team had a so-so first day of the
tournament with a 1-2 record. We beat Bothell pretty convincingly,
and fell to Space Needle and ITVC. Again, the losses seemed
frustrating because we did not play to our potential and we were a bit
tired of saying, "we could have won."
Day two started great. As the #4 seed
in our pool, we ended up taking 2nd defeating Cascade, losing (again) to
ITVC and the beating Lake VBC. It was then that the snow had
accumulated to unsafe driving conditions for all tournament
participants, and after a lot of heartbreaking deliberation, the tourney
was cancelled. No one knows what the EG was going to pull out of
their hat for the rest of the day. I think eyes were opened a bit
and hopefully the team will pay to their potential in the future.
Congrats to
Dani
for being selected as the MLK MVP of the Tournament and to all the hard
work over the weekend. Thanks to the parents who helped us stick
it out all weekend - especially on Sunday when it was SO cold in the
gym.

Power League #2
Cheat Sheet
What a day.
The 15EG team went undefeated in Power League 2, meaning we get to move
up to Flight 2 in Power League. There were some moments of
greatness, but some of the great growth was the fight we had - not
willing to lose winning 32-30 against Cascade and being down to Sudden
Impact in the first game/coming back and winning it. Even being SO
ahead in the second game against Sudden Impact (what was it, 8-0 at one
point?) really showed that this team is really coming around! We
tasted sweet victory, and I feel like we will only continue to grow.
Great moments...Great
defensive efforts by Marit
& Dani.
Awesome stuff block by Marit
in game 2 vs. Sudden Impact. Great directional blocks (2 of them)
by Claire
vs. Sudden Impact. Amazing run in serving by
Sarah
in game 2 vs. SIVBC. Impressive kills by
Kessie
vs. Puyallup. Congrats to
Sarah being voted
MVP of the Tourney. Great job 15EG!
